WEEK 4
" Let's prepare students for their world, not for our world"
Dear all,
Great week!!!
Multi-skills websites were fascinating; I was spending a lot of time looking for different activities and I realized they are wonderful assistants in order to enhance the four skills. Sharing some ideas with the rest of teachers I checked some suggested sites and I really grateful for the recommendations.
My students do not like to read a lot, so I am going to use these virtual activities for motivating them, in addition, it is important they know about global problems and in this sites exist good materials. I am so excited and I would like to use all tasks I found, but I am aware that big goals are divided into steps.
Talking about steps, planning needs to follow them, I enjoyed planning a new class where technology could be involved. I decided to use Google maps because it was a really impressive tool for my students in a past activity.
Finally, describing my concerns and problems with technology lets me recognize what points I have to reinforce in my students. Technology problems in my high school do not depend on me, so I must take advantage of the available resources.
Week 5…… I hope to learn much more!!!

Hi Ale,
ReplyDeleteWow... your blog is so beautiful!
What an inspiring video!
Last night I was talking to a friend's ten-year-old grandson (he was at his laptop)
and it's amazing to see how much these kids learn in such a short time... She has been my friend for over 20 years now and I thought:
"Oh, my God, this little boy was not even born ten years ago and look at the way he deals with the computer..."
I just wonder how I will be able to help!
